Creating Multiple Spanning Tree
Instances
To create multiple spanning tree instances, use the following command.
A single MSTI provides no more benefit than RSTP. To take full advantage of MSTP, create multiple MSTIs and
map VLANs to them.
• Create an MSTI.
PROTOCOL MSTP mode
msti
Specify the keyword vlan then the VLANs that you want to participate in the MSTI.
Examples of Configuring and Viewing MSTI
The following examples shows the msti command.
Dell(conf)#protocol spanning-tree mstp
Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 1 vlan 100
Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 2 vlan 200-300
Dell(conf-mstp)#show config
!
protocol spanning-tree mstp
no disable
MSTI 1 VLAN 100
MSTI 2 VLAN 200-300
All bridges in the MSTP region must have the same VLAN-to-instance mapping.
To view which instance a VLAN is mapped to, use the show spanning-tree mst vlan command from
EXEC Privilege mode.
Dell(conf-mstp)#name my-mstp-region
Dell(conf-mstp)#exit
Dell(conf)#do show spanning-tree mst config
MST region name: my-mstp-region

To view the forwarding/discarding state of the ports participating in an MSTI, use the show spanning-tree
msti command from EXEC Privilege mode.
Dell#show spanning-tree msti 1
